More games should just allow you to disable chat. A friend of mine used to play with a little post-it covering the chat. It allowed him to enjoy the game.

I avoid any pvp online game exactly for this reason. if you open your mouth to call out, you just became a target. it’s so normalized now that I have sworn off multiplayer games altogether unless they’re co-op and I can play specifically with friends.
it really sucks.

It’s hard because people are a lot smarter about how they harras you today than they used to be. It used to be a shouting match where everyone calls each other slurs. Now they dig into your profile for pii, follow you around and try to do you.
